ABA Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 1 BCBA provider and 6 RBT providers. There were no providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. This 1:6 BCBA to RBT ratio suggests a significant need for more supervisory-level BCBAs to support the direct care RBT workforce, which is crucial for maintaining quality and expanding access to ABA services. Beyond ABA-specific roles, Jacksonville's behavioral health landscape also includes professionals with other credentials such as 3 LCSWs, 2 LMHCs, 1 MS, 1 M.E.D, 1 BSW, 1 CCC-SLP, and 1 M.D. Additionally, 4 providers are registered with multiple taxonomies, indicating a breadth of specialization within the workforce.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Jacksonville is predominantly female, with 20 practitioners identifying as female, accounting for 91% of individuals, while 2 practitioners are male, making up 9%. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. There were no specific organizations appearing multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse landscape of independent providers and smaller clinics rather than dominance by multi-state chains. The continued influx of new providers, particularly in direct care roles, highlights an expanding workforce poised to enhance access to behavioral health services for families in Jacksonville.
